“Everything you can imagine is real.”

Imagine…
A young woman lies down on her back, relaxed and naked; she is taking part in a photo shoot. Her skin is fair and smooth all over, one can scent a pleasant delicate aroma of soap radiating off her. The camera travels along her and gets closer to her genitalia, gently, not at all in an invasive way, in view is her labia, tightly closed, looking almost fused together. At very close look one could notice shy goose bumps on her skin and very few delicate hairs.
She lies there quietly awaiting the other woman in the room. The photographer motions to the other woman to approach the model and explains how he would like to stage the photo. He would like her tongue to come out close to the labia, very close but never touching…
Several clicks of the camera follow in fast succession.
That’s all.
A given moment in time.
There, yet at the same time not there at all.
Something that might have happened, yet never did.
A photo can be an opportunity for our thoughts to carry us where we would like to go, a photo can allow us to be carried by the magic of our own imagination.
Our imagination, so much more powerful than reality is!!!
Perhaps this was the attraction of the ‘TouchDown’ photo. The reason it received so much attention, so many viewers and comments. The reason DA took it down so abruptly although it DID NOT violate a single policy I could find.
(Wish I could provide a link here for you to look again and decide for yoursleves)
I can only take it as a compliment.
Wishing you all a most wonderful 2008, a year blessed with wild and uncensored imagination!

We, as artists, should embrace the images, ideas and inferences that stir these emotions. It is our greatest tool.
The emotion of the artist when creating an image, is totally irrelevant to the viewer, because the emotion the viewer sees attached to the image, is purely thier own.
The true conflict then, only comes when the emotion stirred within the viewer, is not acceptable to the viewer. If they cannot accept that part of themselves which has been awoken, then they cannot accept the image that awoke the the emotion.
In their eyes it is the image that is at fault and should be despised for creating the emotion, not themselves for having the emotion in the first place.
A photograph is nothing more than a record of light. A painting is nothing more than a mash of pigment and binders on a surface. The artist merely adds the imagination... it is the viewer who adds the emotion.
Nothing was ever created, that was not first imagined. Imagination creates reality. We supply our own emotion.

When I hear someone say they give "110%" to whatever they're doing, it makes me feel good inside, because I know I'm not as big a moron as that person is.
